Supplemental Med/Catastrophic Stop-Loss

Supplemental Medical Benefit

The Supplemental Medical Benefit provides coverage for benefits that are not completely covered by the City-provided health plan or not covered at all by the basic health plan.  The benefits are reimbursed at 80% of the approved charge, once a $ 150 per person / $ 450 per family deductible is met, to a maximum of $ 2,000 per person per year.  There are special exceptions to this guideline, and members are advised to consult their CSA Welfare Benefits Book , or call the Fund office, for specific illustrations.

Catastrophic Stop-Loss Benefit

This benefit provides for reimbursement of out-of-pocket cost not paid by the basic health plan.  After a $ 1,500 deductible, the Fund reimburses you at 80% for the next  $ 1,250 of approved costs, then reimburses you at 100% until it has paid a maximum of $ 50,000 in a calendar year.  Deductibles and co-insurance charges from the primary carrier are included in this benefit, as are charges for using non-participating providers.  This unique benefit provides a safety net for our members, and relieves them of a major financial burden should they experience a catastrophic illness.  Please contact the Fund office if you have any questions regarding this benefit
